Do you have burning lower back pain and can't quite figure out what's causing it? If you're like many people, you have this at least occasionally and you're tired of it.
That means that if you can eliminate the causes of the burning pain, you will likely be able to stop getting the pain in your lower back and that can mean good news for you.
So, before you can look for an effective treatment, you need to identify the cause of your pain.
There are many common causes and you may relate to one of these.
Another Round of an Inflamed Sciatic Nerve The term a pinched sciatic nerve is all too familiar with many back pain sufferers and this certainly provides you with burning lower back pain.
If you're not familiar, the sciatic nerve runs down the spine.
When you move in a certain way that causes your muscles surrounding the nerve to rub on it the wrong way or compress against this sensitive nerve, you are asking for trouble.
This is one of the more common causes of burning pain in the lower back that you will find and you would be surprised how sensitive this little nerve can be.
However, if you can determine what movements you have done that can cause this nerve to become irritated, you will be able to eliminate this cause all together in many cases.
Overworked Back Muscles Why do we all assume that our backs are strong? Most people's backs are the weakest parts of their bodies.
This might be why you are suffering from burning lower back pain.
Have you struggled and strained to move anything heavy? If you strained for lack of strength, your poor back would have had to do all the work.
We don't typically work our backs out and they are already tired from doing the daily work of supporting the body - keeping you upright, protecting the essential spine, absorbing shock from walking or running.
If your back muscles are already tired, you will likely find that to add to the burden by lifting heavy objects or moving things improperly, you will suffer from lower back pain.
Why not work to make the back muscles strong by strengthening these particular muscles and work to support them by strengthening the core at the same time? You might find that your burning pain in the lower back not only goes away for a time, but it will vanish for good.
Herniated or Slipped Discs Here's a lesson that you may or may not know; the spine has "shock absorbers" between each vertebra called discs.
These are what helps you to stay comfortable and pain free throughout much of your life.
Discs can help to ease every day wear and tear on the spine and are also help you to move fluidly.
These are also susceptible to injury if you're not careful with your body.
Many times, we will find that if we injure these discs, there will be burning lower back pain.
You might have herniated a disc, which means that the disc is injured and inflamed.
This is a time when you should try to take it easy and not overwork your back, so the swelling can go down and the disc can fit back into place.
In other cases, you may find that you have slipped a disc.
In this case, not only will you suffer from a burning pain, but this type of pain is more serious and may require the help of a health care professional or chiropractor so don't play around with this type of problem.
Any time that you have burning lower back pain, you need to be able to identify the causes and keep track of your symptoms so that you can either let your health care professional know or start to begin your own back pain treatment program.
That means that if you can eliminate the causes of the burning pain, you will likely be able to stop getting the pain in your lower back and that can mean good news for you.
